YouTube’s most watched videos are a great source of inspiration if you want to learn how to get more views on youtube.

I usually check which videos have the most views on youtube twice per month, and sometimes, if there is a special event going on -like the world cup- I also check daily and weekly top ten most popular videos.

These rankings are really useful if you have a videoblog and need ideas for your show but you might also get a lot of youtube views if you make spoof edits or covers for those videos.
